Pointy, Dangley Crochet.

Hello all, thank you for all of your lovely comments. You really are sweet.

Gosh! I really don't know where the time is going to at the moment. I'm finding it really difficult to visit as many of your scrummy blogs as I would like, and I do hate to miss anything. You're all being so productive now you're 20 Minuters, I could really do with an extra day in the week just for blog reading! Do you think anyone would notice if we made it an 8 day week instead of 7!If you remember the post before last I promised you some dangley, pointy, crochet goodness. Well here it is... no not the one above. That triangle was made following the only triangle pattern I could find in a book and to honest it didn't cut the mustard! No sireeee! Not good enough for my bloggy friends.
So...I designed my own.
Much prettier don't you think?

And soon one became three.

Actually I'm telling a little porky there, it wasn't soon at all. No, they took a jolly long time, much longer than I thought they would. Maybe I'm just slow with the old hook but these babies took at least 4o minutes each!

And I won't tell you how long the joining chain took because some naughty words might slip out just like they did while I was making it. Talk about fiddly!

But it was all worth it in the end.

I just need to aquire some brighter colours, like the ones below.

They're evolving already.

These are a little smaller and I 've given them a pretty picot edge.

Gosh I must dash! Parent's evening tonight! I really do hate it and in my 12 years experience of it there never was a bigger waste of everyones time! (OO! I bet that statement raises some comments!)

Oh I love the crochet bunting. I know what you mean about parents evening! Mine have long since left school but I remember them well it seemed like the teacher was saying exactly the same thing, "your child is doing well in class" bet they didn't even know who my child was! Just don't get me started!

You may know by looking at my recent post that my crochet skills are totally inadequate but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate other people's and I do appreciate yours - gosh! Not only changing colours but a 3-sided figure - I can do very similar but only by accident you see! For some reason I looked for the recipe but didn't find them and even if I did would I be able to carry them out ...

The crochet is amazing are you going to show us how it's done? Couldn't agree more about parents evenings, I remember being told once that the parents that turn up are not really the ones the teachers want to see!

Pretty.I have to agree I've yet to have been to a parents evening that has been productive. It's just a repeat of what's already been written on their report and if there was a problem one would hope the school would have got in touch with you before a parents evening where you get 5 minutes to fit a years worth of work into. :/

They are soo pretty and I love the little picot edging. Parents evening? Hhhmmmm - as a parent, some good some bad. As a teacher it was good to meet the parents of the little ones who were brought to school each day by child minders!

Love your bunting !!!! is the centre from Lucy's summer garden square ? It's so much prettier the traditional way to start a granny square don't you think . Great to see it used in another way !!!your colour choices are just perfect too:0)

Those are stunning, and I love the colouring on the first ones. If you could share the pattern, I'd be very grateful. You've got me desperate to get back to crochet again, but I really MUST carry on with my Devon x-stitch as it''s 3/4 done now.

P.S. When I saw you had joined the two triangles together, I thought, cor, that's a skimpy bikini top!

love your little crochet projects. will definately try the triangles . I'm an F.E lecturer and we have to have parents evenings three times a year ~~~~ pointless as only a handfull of parents turn and to be totally honest i don't blame them.xxxxxxx

I found your blog today while catching up on my blog reading and finding myself follwing links! I'm so glad I did. This crochet bunting is the most beautiful bunting I think I have ever seen. I love it. I make my own cloth bunting from vintage scraps of silk, but am just beginning to venture into the world of crochet and would love to be ablet o make some gorgeous butning like this. I'm off now to take a look around your blog. Sending smiles, Em x
